/*************** Precision ************** * The control loop is designed around these values, but generally * does not hardcode them. * * Since α and P are precalculated outside of the loop, their * conversion to numbers the loop understands is done outside of * the loop and in the kernel. * * The 18-bit ADC is twos-compliment, -10.24V to 10.24V, * with 78μV per increment. * The 20-bit DAC is twos-compliment, -10V to 10V. * * The `P` constant has a minimum value of 1e-7 with a precision * of 1e-9, and a maxmimum value of 1. * * The `I` constant has a minimum value of 1e-4 with a precision * of 1e-6 and a maximum value of 100. * * Δt is cycles/100MHz. This makes Δt at least 10 ns, with a * maximum of 1 ms. * * Intermediate values are 48-bit fixed-point integers multiplied * by the step size of the ADC. The first 18 bits are the whole * number and sign bits. This means intermediate values correspond * exactly to values as understood by the ADC, with extra precision. * * To get the normal fixed-point value of an intermediate value, * multiply it by 78e-6. To convert a normal fixed-point integer * to an intermediate value, multiply it by 1/78e-6. In both * cases, the conversion constant is a normal fixed-point integer. * * For instance, to encode the value 78e-6 as an intermediate * value, multiply it by 1/78e-6 to obtain 1. Thus the value * should be stored as 1 (whole bit) followed by zeros (fractional * bits). */ `include control_loop_cmds.vh `define ERR_WID (ADC_WID + 1) module control_loop #( parameter ADC_WID = 18, /* Code assumes DAC_WID > ADC_WID.
